Reading the difference

Reading the difference

Some dimensions are excluded because one studio does not publish that figure.

  • Both titles are built on the same format family: Fixed paylines. Differences between them therefore come from tuning, not from structure.
  • They come from different studios — NetEnt and Pragmatic Play — which is what makes the comparison useful: the same problem, two house styles.
  • Published RTP is effectively identical: 96.09% against 96.08%.
  • Both cap out at roughly the same place: 4,000× and 4,000×.
  • Volatility cannot be compared: Lock and Pop does not publish a rating.
  • Worth noticing: the higher RTP and the higher win cap sit on opposite sides. Lock and Pop returns more in theory over the long run, while Samurai Code reaches further at its ceiling. The two numbers answer different questions.
